The intervention conducted by the Elders in the dispute settlement on the Ojibway reserve observed by Rupert Ross (1989) focused on the cleansing of the spirit for the future rather than on the past history or reputation of the disputants, reconstructing the details of the specific incident, or fair compensation for the victim. The Elders believed that the resolution of the dispute required the restoration of the community's balance and harmony through the purification and renewal of the spirits of both the offender and offended.
